You42 Dev Diary – Sprint 53

In Sprint 53, we made sure that all of the environment variables made use of config files and resolved a spacing issue occurring when posts had no text. The team also corrected a URL forwarding issue occurring when links were shared.

Additional Accomplishments

We conducted an investigation into the degree of GDPR compliance, got the application prepared for launch, and fixed an outstanding issue occurring when users played external videos by getting them to play in an IFrame.

Other accomplishments included implementing our workflow to the JIRA Kanban board, moving our QA reports forward, updating our MediaNet document, and clearing our bug swim lane.

MediaNet

Accomplishments

We got audio fingerprinting approved for use after having it temporarily turned off.

GDPR

Accomplishments

The team looked into allowing users to download all of their data, which currently exists in a spreadsheet form.

External Video

Accomplishments

Users can click anywhere within the frame of an external video play it in an overlay. We gave them the same ability in their Socialfeed posts, though they can’t play them in a separate tab.

Joining You42

Accomplishments

We’ve been able to fix the issues users ran into when they logged in through social media applications. They can now log in and sign up through Google, Twitter, and Facebook.

Link Cards

Accomplishments

Links now pull in the correct associated images.

Token

Accomplishments

We pulled together requirements outlining how our token should function on the Ethereum blockchain, settling on the EC-20 standard.

Outstanding Issues

We’re purchasing advertising, implementing our conversion from Token to Cookie methods, and coming up with our token specification and white paper terminology.

Pages

Outstanding Issues

We may blend our features pages with user profiles to allow profiles to mix internal and external content. It would also give users the ability to customize different sections of their profiles.

A suggestion was made to conduct an audit of the following sections:

  • User profile
  • User page
  • Feature pages
  • Channels

This would allow us to find and eliminate any potential redundancies among these features.

Profiles

Outstanding Issues

We’re also trying to decide if we should allow artists to opt in or out of a change that would eliminate their profiles and leave the content. Choosing opt in means keeping the artist’s profile, allowing them to access it, and deleting it upon request.

Features

Outstanding Issues

The team discussed solutions for the overlapping secondary navigation menu including limiting feature page sections or adding a carousal effect.

Playlist

Outstanding Issues

We need to look into migrating Earbits playlists to the platform.

Search

Outstanding Issues

The application needs better integration between user searches and MediaNet content tags. For example, when users search for “Jazz”, they also receive results for Hip-hop, Country, and Rock.

Earbits

Outstanding Issues

We need to verify if the original tags came in during the migration.

App Responsiveness

Outstanding Issues

A fix is needed to address the issue of a tablet version of the application appearing when viewing it on a small laptop.

App Styling

Outstanding Issues

 

The tablet view of the application should reflect the You42 logo.

App Bugs

Accomplishments

  • Addressed platform scalability
  • Stopped users from making subscriptions
  • Prevented users from viewing likes totaling zero
  • Increased the stability for GoLive by verifying the code base to remove errors

Next Steps

We’ll be reviewing and testing our latest build and preparing for the next sprint. The team will also develop a Google Form to document bug submissions.
